    The Perfect Alternative Gift For America's Youth? Get Fit, Together
    Historical legend traces Christmas gift-exchange to 4th-century Turkey when oranges were popular gifts due to their exotic rarity.

    On The Run
    If you think this blog post is about delivering your marketing messages to moms while she's running errands and carpooling to children, you might be surprised. It is about a mom running and about marketing to moms but the mom is me, and the run is my weekly long training run.
